Most desirable of all her little trinkets was a locket containing her portrait and that of their father. They quarreled over the possession of it, and their father adjusted matters by giving half of the locket to each. Time passed, then their father also died, and they were alone in the world. Neighbors adopted the boy and girl. Harry's guardian treated him brutally, and one day a passerby rescued him from his clutches. He was a gypsy, and rather than bear longer his guardian's ill treatment, Harry went willingly with the wandering tribe. Years passed, and Harry, now at man's estate, loved the belle of the camp. One day a member of the tribe brought to the camp a little girl whom he had stolen out of revenge for her father's rough treatment of him, Harry found on the child the half of the locket which matched his own, and learned that the girl was Edith's daughter. Swearing the child to secrecy, he took her home, on condition that she bring him a picture of her mother. His gypsy sweetheart saw him kissing his sister's portrait, and jealousy flamed in her. Putting two and two together, she went straight to the child's home and attacked her supposed rival with a poniard. Harry, following her, arrived in time to rescue his sister and explain everything to his sweetheart. For love and his people he forsook the old ties. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
